Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Our Volunteer Coordinator will be in charge of ensuring that our current volunteers are satisfied and that any new recruits are comfortable with their new roles within our organization. In addition, the Coordinator will be in charge of leading Human Resources team meetings, planning volunteer events, and coming up with fresh ideas to keep volunteers engaged.


Essential Duties and Responsibilites:
*chedule and lead Human Resources team meetings
*Keep track of volunteer hours
*Assist in recruiting / training new volunteers
*Coordinate with Director of organization on a regular basis to ensure goals are being achieved
*Plan volunteer events


Community Empowerment Network's (CEN’s) operations are nearly entirely driven by the efforts of volunteers (the only exception is our Field Manager in Santarém, Brazil, who is paid under contract). We are staffed along the lines of the Open Source development community. We have several (currently eight) Working Groups, each with its own lead who manages a number of Project Leads. These Project Leads are responsible for building and managing teams of volunteers to execute specific projects.

We’re a small organization and so lines of responsibility become a little blurred at times, but this provides a terrific opportunity to take on a variety of responsibilities and to expand your skills.
